If the remote system crashes then any memory regions, QPs, etc. are
still valid with the remote HCA, and RDMA read/write operations will
continue to succeed.  (Unless the system reboots and reinitializes the
adapter or something like that).

There isn't a way to detect a remote crash unless that remote crash
disconnects your QP or otherwise affects the HCA on the crashed
system.
